The Usefull Daylight Illuminance is a parameter that describes the percentage of time a point has been between a determined range of illumination. The UDI has three variantes, the percentage of time a point has been below a minimum illuminance level (UDI_under), the percentage of time a point has been between a desired level (UDI_useful) and the percentage of time a point has been above a maximum level (UDI_over).

2015-04-16 11:10:09 -0500 commented answer Obtaining "simulation command generated no results, stuffing with 0" in OS and Radiance

@rpg777

As you mentioned, i had installed DIVA in my PC, who installed Radiance 4.1.

Even when the RunManager Preferences was pointing to the new install of Radiance (v4.2), OS was using the version from DIVA.

I uninstalled DIVA and now my simulations are working again!

Thanks for the support! I would not have noticed this detail.

2015-04-15 15:27:32 -0500 commented answer Obtaining "simulation command generated no results, stuffing with 0" in OS and Radiance

The files have been uploaded to the same folder.

I was using Radiance4.3.a-win32 but i did the downgrade to Radiance4.2.2-win32, and it happens with both versions.

I am using Ruby2.0x64. Thanks a lot!

2015-04-13 18:50:04 -0500 marked best answer Obtaining "simulation command generated no results, stuffing with 0" in OS and Radiance

Hi, i am working with radiance and very interested in simulating diffuse transmitance materials in radiance. OS 1.7 is supposed to be able to model material either 100% specular or 100% diffusing.

I have downloaded and installed 1.7 but when i perform a radiance simulation i am getting the following: INFO: simulation command generated no results, stuffing with 0's

and then the illuminance maps are full of 0s.

Is this a bug or i am doing something wrong ?

If i install 1.6 or 1.6.1 and do the same simulation, i can obtain results different from 0s.
